Tonight In Rock: Jefferson Starship, Sunset Junction, High Places, The Widow Babies

Our Pick: High Places, Silk Flowers @ Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock
Tonight marks the second night of the 29th year of the annual street fair that we all hold dear to our hearts: the Sunset Junction Street Fair. Legendary San Franciscan psychedelic rock band Jefferson Starship are poised to grace the Greek Theatre for Heroes of Woodstock. And, lastly, LA-based rock outfit the Widow Babies will be ringing in their latest disc at the Echo. But we strongly suggest heading over to Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock to catch Brooklyn-based experimental pop act High Places.
You can find these listings as well as the rest of the week's in our weekly Week In Rock post, which goes up every Sunday.
